During this week’s episode of NXT, Ridge Holland made a significant announcement, revealing his decision to take an indefinite hiatus from in-ring competition. Subsequently, WWE relocated his profile from the NXT section to the alumni segment of their website.
According to confirmation from Fightfulselect.com, Holland’s departure and subsequent move to the alumni section are integral components of his ongoing storyline within NXT, and they do not signify an official retirement. The report further emphasized that Holland has been fully committed to this storyline, describing him as “motivated,” and he has remained open to input and suggestions from others involved.
Despite facing criticism from fans, the storyline has not encountered any resistance or concerns from either the creative team or the talent roster. Consequently, it is anticipated to unfold as originally intended, running its full course as planned.
